Hey people!

I am just wondering if there is any songs you would suggest

I really need some music when I paint

Any popular songs or good ones,but not rock,as I said,painting,not skating

Thanks

Depends on what I'm painting
For Orks I like novelty songs, bluegrass and folk
For 'nids I want anything with a drawn out droning sound to it
For Marines...and I you not...christian rock or any kind of religious chants

For painting: METAL!!
For eating: METAL!!
For wroking out: METAL!!
For living: METAL!!

\m/

classic rock......Led Zeppelin, Doors, The Who, Stones, CCR. Edgy and easy to hum along too but it wont give you violent tendancies (it doesn't for me anyway).

Waa?Heavy metal?Is that what you call it?
And it would be nicer if you can tell me a specific list of songs

Who's that at Tony?

I can name songs if you aren't familiar with those bands. Though anyone not familiar with Led Zeppelin is a very sheltered individual. VERY sheltered.

Raise Against-Hero of War (This one is good for IG)
Five Finger Death Punch-Bad Company
Loreeena Mckennitt-All Souls Night
Billy Talent-Rusted From the Rain

Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.3
And last but not least Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor

Beethoven 7th Symphony...I like Mozart more because of his background,but Beethoven is also good
Anyways thanks people!

Albums I enjoy while painting:

Electronic
Hadouken! - Music for an Accelerated Culture
t.A.T.U. - Any of their albums, particularly the Russian versions or the remixes
Klee - anything


More "folky," down-tempo with a healthy genre mix
The Hollies - Greatest Hits
Sheryl Crow - The Globe Sessions
Amy MacDonald - This is the Life

If you're an orchestra fan, look in to some soundtracks - Video Games Live! has a fantastic array of orchestrated gaming music. Civilization IV Medley will be stuck in your head forever.

Civilization IV Medley
Halo Suite
God of War Montage
Castlevania Rock (I know you said you didn't want rock, but this song is absolutely incredible)

Edit: Oh! And in addition to this, look at Final Fantasy music if you're into it. If you can work near a computer, Youtuber SilvaGunner has almost all (if not all) of every Final Fantasy soundtrack ever on Youtube, including the incredibly well-done orchestra concert "Distant Worlds ~ Music from Final Fantasy".

This one's kind of obscure, but you should also look into Ayreon - the leader (Arjen Anthony Lucassen) arranges groups of musicians to do sort of Rock Opera CDs, which all center around a sci-fi storyline about the destruction of mankind. It's a huge range of music styles, including alt rock, orchestrated pieces, some acoustic guitar, a variety of woodwinds, and one album that was more heavier towards metal and rock. If you want a good intro to Ayreon, look into Timeline, a compilation album that includes music from all of his other albums to sort of sum up the entire universe into three CDs. Plus, it includes the epic finale to Ayreon, "Epilogue: The Memory Remains".

Some of my favorite songs of his: (Just picked my top three from each album)
Computer-Reign (Game Over)
Merlin's Will
Ayreon's Fate
Evil Devolution
The Two Gates
Another Time, Another Space
Computer Eyes
Beyond the Last Horizon
Farside of the World
Chaos
Out of the White Hole
The New Migrator
Day Eleven: Love
Day Sixteen: Loser
Day Twenty: Confrontation
Age of Shadows
Unnatural Selection
The Sixth Extinction

I have yet to get into any hardcore painting, but since i'm doing wood elves I have a feeling it's going to be pretty singer/songwritery hippie type stuff and classic rock.

my general music tastes are a lot poppier than the rest of you all, i can tell. I tend to like to listen to happy music.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but Ride of the Valkries is a good one ^^

A bit of Jarvis Cocker.

Terrific lyrics.

The joker in me likes to play Korn when painting something for Khorne.

But I like pretty much all genres except for songs without words..

Like Fred Reed for Country for example. Or some credence Clearwater R for awesome. Or some Jimi hendrix or .. it goes on.

You can't go wrong with CCR.

Currently in a rut of system of a down, mostly "steal this album songs" but when im modelling i'll occasionally listen to gregorian chanting to top up my GOTHIC GRIMDARK levels.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! : by Debauchery : on the album Rage of the Blood Beast. Awesome when painting CSM

Yeah, I don't remember the name of the song, but the main theme of Castlevania IV would be great.
